Your Vercel build runs to 45 minutes and dies with 'Build step did not complete within the maximum of 45 minutes' — usually a cold cache, unbounded page generation, or a hung post-build step. Here's how to find which one.
Vercel renamed Edge in 2025 and Fluid compute killed most cold starts. Here is when the Edge runtime still wins for a content site, when a Node function is better, and when static beats both — with June 2026 limits and latency numbers.
ISR or plain SSG for your content site on Vercel? The real trade-off in build time, freshness, function cost, and rollback, with current 2026 Vercel limits and config you can copy.
The exact Vercel settings to ship a content site from a Turborepo monorepo: per-app Root Directory, turbo build, turbo-ignore with --fallback, and shared packages without a publish step. Verified June 2026.
Same domain binds fine on Vercel but Firebase Hosting stays Pending or never gets SSL. The exact DNS records Firebase needs, what to remove, and how to confirm the fix.

A Vercel "Build failed" is almost always one of seven causes: Node version, missing env var, type error, dependency drift, OOM, wrong output directory, or timeout. Match the log line, paste the fix.
A pre-launch checklist for content sites going live on Vercel as of June 2026 — base URL, env vars, www-vs-apex DNS, SSL, analytics limits, sitemap, leaked vercel.app scan, instant rollback, and spend caps.
Point an apex + www domain at Vercel with the exact per-project DNS records, dig/curl verification, the CAA fix, and a Cloudflare-in-front setup that does not break SSL. Current as of June 2026.
Ship Astro on Vercel with the exact Astro 5 astro.config.mjs, Node 22 pin, vercel.json cache headers, CLI commands, and DNS + SSL verification — no detours.
Vercel Hobby is free but strictly non-commercial; Pro is $20/seat/mo with $20 usage credit. Verified June 2026 limits table, the exact commercial-use rule, and a spend-cap setup.

Build is green but production 500s. Diagnose FUNCTION_INVOCATION_FAILED, missing env vars, Edge runtime, and timeouts with real vercel logs commands.

Deploy Next.js on Vercel in 2026: auto-detection, env vars, custom domains, next/image allowlist, function regions, and the App Router gotchas that cost indie devs half a day.
When a Vercel deploy goes red, the build log already names what broke — if you know where to look. Three log positions, plus the six most common failure modes and exact fixes.
Firebase Hosting vs Vercel, compared on free-tier limits, pricing, serverless, and one rule most guides skip: Vercel's free Hobby plan bans commercial use. Verified June 2026 figures.
